The Right To Vote / myLot

Do you exercise your right to vote? There are people who have been discouraged to practice their right to vote for some reasons. I believe that exercising our right to vote is something that we should be thankful for especially us women. There was a time in history that women were not allowed to vote but now things have changed and women are somewhat exercising equal rights with men.

People of legal voting age should be obliged to vote. If they choose not to vote, they should be obliged to vote "abstain".

I do. But most of the time I wasn't able to complete the list because I can't choose among the candidates.

@cherigucchi Not because of the long lost but because I don't think someone qualifies for the position.

@cherigucchi I'd feel terrible if I didn't vote. I'll be doing it in May and June this year.

My mom continually discourages me from voting. She's never voted in her life. On the other hand, I registered as soon as I turned 18.

Most exercise it but there are some reasons why people doesn't want/unable to vote: Hate the candidates or Busy working or Lack of info about the election.
